PocketC is a software tool designed for development on personal digital devices, such as PocketPC and Windows CE powered devices.
As a software for Windows CE machines, PocketC offers a unique approach to generating code. Unlike Visual C++, it does not create machine code. Instead, PocketC writes intermediate code that can be interpreted by a freely distributable runtime. This approach has its advantages, especially for Windows CE devices.
One advantage is that VMs work particularly well on these machines as they typically run client applications that don't require incredibly fast loop or integer performance. This makes them well suited to the use of an interpreted runtime like PocketC. Additionally, WindowsCE powered devices often have different sets of CPUs and platforms.
PocketC solves this issue by allowing you to distribute one binary for all WindowsCE devices. You don't have to produce a separate executable for each platform and each CPU. This makes deployment a lot easier for developers and end-users. And with its ability to generate intermediate code, PocketC offers a simpler and more efficient way to develop applications on Windows CE devices.
